GDP per capita based on PPP NY.GDP.PCAP.PP.CD
Belize's gdp per capita ppp was $14,921 in 2025, ranked 115th globally. This represents a 4.0% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Belize's gdp per capita ppp stood at $14,921 in 2025, a rise of +$574 from 2024. The IMF projects $14,921 by 2025. Belize ranked 115th globally.
Belize’s GDP per capita measured in purchasing power parity terms has risen from a trough of 1,555.10 in 1980 to an all‑time peak of 14,920.77 in 2025, placing the nation at 115th in the global ranking. This 8.5‑fold increase over 46 years reflects steady structural reforms, diversification of the services sector and modest growth in tourism, which together have lifted average living standards. The 2025 figure is marginally below the level recorded by Tunisia (14,982.77) and just ahead of Jamaica (13,924.09), underscoring Belize’s position among middle‑income economies in the Caribbean‑Central American corridor. While the upward trajectory has been consistent, the pace of growth has slowed relative to the rapid expansion of the 1990s and early 2000s, suggesting that future improvements will depend on expanding high‑value exports and enhancing human‑capital investment to sustain the current trend.
